Bambu Printer MCP

by ceweldy

set_light

Control a Bambu printer's light node by setting its mode to on, off, or flashing using the MQTT LED command.

Instructions

Set a Bambu printer light node mode using the printer's MQTT LED command

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
hostNoHostname or IP of the printer (default: value from env)
modeYesLight mode to apply
lightYesLight node to control, for example chamber_light

bambu_tokenNoAccess token (default: value from env)
bambu_serialNoSerial number (default: value from env)
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description should fully disclose behavioral traits. It mentions 'MQTT LED command' but lacks details on side effects, safety (e.g., whether it's destructive), permissions, or error conditions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence, front-loaded, and no redundancy. Could be slightly more informative without losing conciseness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool with 6 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too brief. It omits success/failure behavior, required network conditions, and how the light node value is validated.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema fully describes each parameter. The description adds no extra semantic beyond 'using MQTT LED command', which is implicit from other parameters. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('set'), the resource ('Bambu printer light node mode'), and the method ('MQTT LED command'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like set_airduct_mode or set_temperature.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., other light-related commands). There is no mention of prerequisites or context for use.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
